Is anyone familiar with how the auto Park brake works and the process for using it? I believe the purpose of it is to auto apply the park break when you turn the ignition off. However, it seems like I have to manually hit the button I have circled red in my picture every time I want it to activate (i.e. it doesn't save this preference the next time I drive the truck). If you do indeed have to press this button every time, it seems you might as well just use the park brake manually.

Mine only auto sets when I park on a steep incline. It’s my understanding this is one of the features of it along with when a trailer is hooked.

The feature prevents your vehicle from moving in any direction when you are aligned with your trailer coupler and shift to park.
I was shocked at how far this truck can move when you shift into park. It will definitely mess up your line up when hooking up your trailer.
